Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
MRCP is routinely prescribed as a liver investigation and you need not worry about that. Its a non-invasive procedure. Ativan will help you in reducing the anxiety of clustrophobia. You may take it atleast an hour before the test. Also you may have a mock sitting a couple of days before the procedure after taking the medicine to get a feel of the experience.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
